Christie's cannot guarantee the working order of lighting. Each stand with the inevitable dents, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. The blue porcelain with some firing cracks and glaze imperfections. The white lamp in good order. The yellow lamp broken and restored. Tarnishing to the metal fitments. The shades with surface dirt, stains and discoloration.
